An electrical certificate of compliance (ECoC) document verifies that the electrical work on a property is up and current with the laws required by the South African National Standards.
The occupational Health and Safety Act, 1993 (Act No. eighty five of 1993) requires each user or lease giver of an electrical installation to be in possession of a legitimate certificate of compliance and to supply such a certificate on request to an inspector, provider or approved examination authority, unless there's an agreement to transfer the responsibility to the renter as aforementioned. Excluded are electrical installations that existed before 23 october 1992 and where there was no likelihood of ownership since 1 March 1994 (unless there had been an addition or alteration to the electrical system). prior to 1 may 2009, the certificate, once issued, remains valid till or unless the seller made additions or alterations to the electrical installation and if he/she did, only needed a new certificate for the portion of the installation that was impact upon as a result of the addition or alteration. The Electrical Certificate of Compliance was also transferable with no limitations. However, currently, the owner cannot transfer a certificate if the certificate of compliance is older than 2 years. If the certificate isn't older than two years it's freely transferable. a person who contravenes or fails to comply with any of the provisions mentioned above, shall be guilty of an offence and liable upon conviction to a fine or to imprisonment for a maximum amount of twelve months and, within the case of continuous offence, to an extra fine of R200.00 for every day on that the offence continues or to additional imprisonment of 1 day for each day on which the offence continues:- on condition that the period of such additional imprisonment shall not exceed ninety days.
